Dinner In A Pumpkin Recipe

You’ll Need:

1 medium pumpkin
1 lb ground beef sauted with onions, celery, and pepper (I just used the beef)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 T brown sugar
4 oz mushrooms (fresh or canned, sliced and drained)
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups hot-cooked rice

Procedures: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 10″ circle in the center of a baking sheet; set aside. Place the pumpkin on a firm surface. Using a sharp knife, cut out the stem end and about 3 inches around the stem. Cut on a diagonal by slanting the knife from the outer edge of the pumpkin toward the center. Reserve top. Remove seeds and pulp; discard.

In a medium bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Spoon mixture into pumpkin. Replace top. Place pumpkin on greased baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour in preheated oven until the pumpkin is tender. Serve cooked pumpkin along with meat filling. Makes 6-8 servings.
